What is a leave-in?
The hair leave-in is a leave-in treatment . Literally translated from English, “leave-in” means “leave in”, which means that we leave the care in the hair!
It is the treatment of hair after washing. It will hydrate and nourish your hair so that your curls are soft and highlighted.
Your hair is frizzy, the curls are beautiful when wet, but fall apart when dry?
This is because the water inside evaporates, leaving your hair dehydrated and the curls losing their suppleness and definition.
Leave-in is here to lock in moisture, soften and let curls define themselves! In short: leave-in is a must!
When the leave-in is applied, you can go further by applying styling gel to boost definition, fix curls or create different hairstyles!
